Council members John Sweeney and Judith Silacci announced days before the Republican Municipal Committee was to hold its candidate screening that they had decided not to stand for re-election in the fall, the report said.

Sweeney did not elaborate on his reasons to stepping down, but Silacci said it was "someone else's time to take over," the report said. Silacci said she would continue to serve on the borough’s Agricultural Advisory Committee, the report said.
